Check out the first battle in this stream on moscalbs twitch. He outplays the dude in Agamemnon and clearly plays better but due to the stupid repair system with endless repairs the battle goes on forever and in the end he basically outrepairs moscalbs skill and the other guy gets away with basically constantly repairing. The other guy couldn't even handle the boarding game... then after the battle he could have picked another fight with palatinose but due to the other tosser wasting all his reps, he couldn't pick another fight and had to sail all the way back to port to get new reps.... anyone else thinking the OW game wasn't even half as much of a timewaste back when we had only 1 repair for everything per battle?
EDIT: Not sure why it double postet... please delete one. Thanks.

So. Here's my current opinion and my personal rant about it.
I just realized how boring this game has become.
Now. Going out for OW pvp, you can sail hours on end finding nothing. And this is something directly connected to low server population imo.
So you go back, thinking about doing a mission or two against AI just to not sit and spin ship. So you grab a mission which ends up in enemy territory, a place you might not wanna go solo since your friends that you sailed together with for OW pvp went to play something else. So you cancel that mission and grab another in hope it will show up closer to where you might feel safe to do it.
After picking and canceling 130 mission you go out and do whatever.
You sink the ship(s) and go for loot. Now you get NOTHING. Nothing of value for a max lvl hero captain. All you get is gold and combat marks. So when you've collected some 5000 combat marks you don't care about combat marks. And when you have 40m gold you don't care about 350k gold.
You feel empty. Hopeless. And you attack an OW AI fleet just for fun and you get basically equally worthless loot. Well, with a 0.000000000001% chance of getting something useful like copper plating or book of five rings BP.
So you, or atleast I. End up in harbour. Jumping around, doing trades earning money that way. Cause it's fun to see numbers increase. Not that it matters but something is happening. All this while waiting for a port battle to happen. So the french attack us, nice you think. You go there. Empty port battle. Fun times entering PB and tabbing out to watch youtube.
If the loot tables don't get more interesting we better pray for a really good UI that might add freshness to the game. But I bet it's for a short period of time.
TL;DR
Game has become way more boring since loot tables got changed (or fubar if you like).
